Re: How to use SMB Direct

I don't think samba supports SMB Direct.
Metze used to have a private repo with some experimental patches but I
don't think it
has landed in official samba yet.

For a linux server, there is an experimental kernel based server
called cifsd which should support SMBDirect
but is incomplete in other areas. It is not part of linus tree yet
(but soon I hope).

Windows servers support SMBDirect but I am not aware of any soft-rdma
support so you might be
limited to just using real hw for any tests.

Linux serverside SMBD support is not ready afaik.
